Memo Regarding Reports Received by CCR of Human Rights Violations April 30, 2012 Reports Received by CCR of Human Rights Violations in Honduras in February and March 2012 Since the June 2009 coup d’état in Honduras that overthrew President Manuel Zelaya, a number of groups and professions have experienced systematic human rights violations. These groups include organized peasant farmers (campesinos), journalists, lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) individuals, attorneys, members of the political opposition, and human rights defenders. Impunity for violence is the norm, and reports of death threats, surveillance and harassment have become commonplace. 1 Human Rights Watch’s World Report 2012 lists attacks on journalists, rural violence, excessive use of force against demonstrators, lack of judicial independence, hostility against human rights defenders, violence against members of the LGBT community and lack of accountability for post- coup abuses as factors that contribute to an ongoing, pervasive climate of fear and intimidation. 2 From February 7 to 14, 2012, United Nations Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights defenders Margaret Sekaggya went on a mission to Honduras to evaluate the conditions for human rights defenders there. Upon the conclusion of her visit, Ms. Sekaggya reported, “the pervasive impunity and absence of effective investigations of human rights violations undermine the administration of justice and damage the public’s trust in authorities… Public officials, including high- ranking authorities, have made public statements which stigmatise human rights defenders… [who] abstain from seeking protection as they consider that contact with the police exposes them to increased security risks.” 3 On March 12, 2012, ninety-four members of the House of Representatives sent a letter to U.S. Secretary of State Hilary Clinton calling on the State Department, “to suspend U.S. assistance to the Honduran military and police given the credible allegations of widespread, serious violations of human rights attributed to the security forces.” 4 Seven U.S. Senators signed a similar letter to the State Department stating that over 300 people have been killed by state security forces in Honduras since the 2009 coup d’etat.5 The U.S. Congress has placed conditions on the State Department’s police and military aid to Honduras.6 As a result, prior to disbursing twenty percent of the allocated funds, the State Department will be required to report to Congress on actions Honduras is taking to protect and promote human rights.

L. no. 112-74 (2011). urge the State Department to uphold this obligation in earnest and to consider the incidents reported herein. The Center for Constitutional Rights and its international partners have received and compiled an alarming number of reports of human rights violations in Honduras. In some of the reports, it is clear that the Honduran military and/or police were directly involved in human rights abuses. We have listed these reports for the months of February and March 2012 below. This represents a two-month snapshot of the widespread, post-coup pattern of violence and harassment targeting the groups and professions mentioned above. This list is not comprehensive, as numerous human rights violations go undocumented, unreported or uncollected. We have included incidents that were widely reported in the press as well as some incidents that were reported to CCR or other organizations but require further investigation. In addition to the incidents listed below, we must note that on February 14, 2012, a devastating prison fire in Comayagua claimed at least 360 lives. The US Ambassador to Honduras stated, “there was negligence and violation of the law on the part of authorities by allowing these prisons to remain overcrowded and in dangerous conditions.” 7 The facility housed sixty percent more inmates than it could safely hold – many of whom were awaiting trial. On February 15, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights deplored the deaths and stated, “prison overcrowding not only constitutes in itself a form of cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment, but is a factor that jeopardizes the life and personal integrity of those who are incarcerated in a particular facility.” 8 As of March 8, only 110 bodies had been delivered back to mourning families for burial. 9 One month later, another fire broke out amidst rioting in the San Pedro Sula prison, killing thirteen and demonstrating again the urgent need for prison reform. 10 Incidents with police and/or military involvement : - February 1 [ detention ]: Vitalino Álvarez, the spokesperson of the Unified Campesino Movement of the Aguán (MUCA), was arrested without a warrant. Álvarez had represented MUCA in land negotiations with the government and turned down President Lobo’s terms. 11 - February 2 [ detention, intimidation ]: Thirteen MUCA leaders were detained at a police checkpoint upon their return from meetings about the campesino movement in Aguán. They were reportedly brought to a police station in Tela in cars without license plates and have since been released. 7 “Deadly Honduras jail rise due to ‘negligence’: US,” Associated Foreign Press , March 8, 2012, available at : http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5i4sLTJ3sPXVfPr2tZ9MgtdNOqsqw?docId=CNG.b58b4af3f e895329b9eef1ceae87d6b0.191.

While the Chief of Police contends that gang rivalry provoked the tragedy, Security Minister Pompeyo Bonilla admitted that the fire had again highlighted the critical prison situation in Honduras.

The community reported that 200 armed troops were present, some of whom were allegedly wearing shirts that said “Dole” under army or police-issued bullet- proof vests. 12 The officers were accompanied by bulldozers that reportedly destroyed eighty homes and destroyed fields of crops; the community said that the officers cut down plants and trees and pulled up yucca. - February 19 [ threats, intimidation ]: A convoy of twenty journalists traveling to the International Gathering for Human Rights in Tocoa was stopped by military troops. The occupants of a car driven by a MUCA leader were detained. Journalist Giorgio Trucchi reported that the officers waved their guns in a show of visible threat. 13 - February 21 [ use of teargas ]: In the wake of the Comayagua prison fire, many families were not granted access to the morgue in order to identify loved ones. Reuters reported that the morgue was not large enough to accommodate the hundreds of corpses and that body bags littered the ground at the site and were rotting. Police used tear gas on hundreds of people that pushed their way into the morgue to locate deceased loved ones.14 - February 24 [ forced eviction, detention ]: Police forcibly evicted the campesino collective “Recuperando lo Nuestro” in La Paz and detained nine peasant workers. In a statement about the incident, the National Rural Workers Association (CNTC) reported that nighttime raids, repeat evictions, violence and the mistreatment of children and pregnant women have become regular tactics of the police in La Paz, Santa Barbara, Comayagua and the Aguán.15 - March 5 [ officer misconduct ]: The Permanent International Observatory of Human Rights in the Aguán accused Walter Maldonado, former director of the National Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DNIC), of stealing records that would have implicated police officers in murder, kidnapping, robbery and threats. 16 - March 16 [ threats ]: Approximately three hundred soldiers were posted outside of a campesino community near Rigores and threatened the community with eviction. 17 - March 21 [ violence, arrest ]: An estimated 200 military and police officers raided a camp where relatives of the Comayagua prison fire victims were protesting. They beat the protestors with clubs and detained at least one person, Ricardo Pineda, without any formal charge. 18 12 Email communication from La Voz de los de Abajo, February 20, 2012, on file with CCR. 13 “Aguán – Quiet please, crackdown in progress,” Reporters Without Borders, March 12, 2012, available at : http://en.rsf.org/honduras-journalists-and-civil-society-02-03-2012,41987.html. 14 “Morgue raided after Honduras prison fire,” Al Jazeera , February 21, 2012, available at : http://www.aljazeera.com/news/americas/2012/02/2012221173212428539.html.

  • EL SALVADOR the Spectre of Death Squads
    EL SALVADOR The spectre of death squads INTRODUCTION The spectre of death squads has come back to the fore of public life in El Salvador with the recent appearance of clandestine groups such as the Fuerza Nacionalista Mayor Roberto D’Aubuisson (FURODA), Nationalist Force Major Roberto D’Aubuisson. Their attacks, including death threats against public figures, media people and religious leaders among others have caused growing concern and outrage at national and international level. Death squads and paramilitary groups were responsible for the systematic secret murder, torture and “disappearance” of suspected government opponents during the 1980s and early 1990s and benefitted from total impunity. There was the hope that they would be held accountable and cease to exist as a result of the 1992 Peace Accords and corresponding commitments by the Salvadorean authorities and support of the international community to improve the human rights situation. There was, in fact, a gleam of hope after the end of the war when there was a significant decrease in the number of serious human rights violations, particularly “disappearances”. But death threats by clandestine groups against political and other activists persisted, and sporadic killings and attempted assassinations bearing the hallmarks of death squads were carried out after the signing of the accords. Amnesty International believes that the threat of a return of death squads in El Salvador will only be removed when a special investigation into their activities - both past and present - is carried out, and all those found responsible are brought to justice. BACKGROUND The Chapultepec Accords, signed on 16 January 1992, ended 12 years of armed conflict between the government and the Frente Farabundo Martí para la Liberación Nacional (FMLN), a non-governmental entity.

  • Self-Defense Without Imminence
    ARTICLES SELF-DEFENSE WITHOUT IMMINENCE Fritz Allhoff* ABSTRACT The doctrine of self-defense allows that otherwise criminal force can be justi®ed so long as the actor reasonably believes its use necessary to protect against imminent and unlawful attack. Supposing that the force is necessary to dispel the attack, why the further requirement that the attack is imminent? The restriction precludes the use of force which, ex hypothesi, is the only way that the actor could defend himself. This Article surveys and critiques the rationale for the imminence requirement, arguing that it should be jettisoned in favor of a more expansive conception of self-defense. While the focus is on domestic law, the paper concludes by gesturing towards implications for international law as well, particularly with regards to preventive war (i.e., war against non-imminent threats). I. IMMINENCE AND NECESSITY Self-defense has long been taken to justify an otherwise illicit use of force. William Blackstone, characterizing the eighteenth-century common law of England, provided: [I]f the party himself, or any of these his relations, be forcibly attacked in his person or property, it is lawful for him to repel force by force; and the breach of the peace, which happens, is chargeable upon him only who began the affray. For the law, in this case, respects the passions of the human mind; and ... makes it lawful in him to do himself that immediate justice, to which he is prompted by nature, and which no prudential motives are strong enough to restrain. It considers that the future process of law is by no means an adequate remedy for injuries accompanied with force; since it is impossible to say, to * Fritz Allhoff, J.D., Ph.D., is a Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Western Michigan University.

In the establishment of Nazi ideology and the practice of its principles, Hitler drew upon an old, extensive and specific genre of animalizing language. Hitler’s regime skillfully employed contemporary and diverse modes of discourse to dehumanize and devastate the Jewish people. By juxtaposing traditional anti-Semitic beliefs with ideals of Aryan superiority, the Nazis were able to expand and strengthen pre-existing anti- Semitism whilst reaffirming Germany as the ultimate example of evolutionary progression. Integral to Hitler’s success was the use of animal imagery and its respective connotations, associations and evocations. Throughout Hitler’s regime, the term “animal” remained without an exact or precise definition; the ambiguous definition of “animal” allowed for multiple applications – both destructive and constructive.

  • Transcriptomics, Molecular Evolution and Pest Control
    Understanding Aphids: Transcriptomics, Molecular Evolution and Pest Control Submitted By Amol Bharat Ghodke Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy JUNE 2018 School of Biosciences, Faculty of Science The University of Melbourne Melbourne, Australia Abstract Aphids exhibit fascinating biological features including parthenogenesis, symbiosis, altruism and host-plant preference; all of which would be better understood if genetic tools and molecular biological techniques were applied to them. Aphids are also agricultural pests that vector plant viruses and new approaches to control them are required. This thesis addresses questions motivated by an interest in the biology of aphids and a desire to improve the agricultural impact of aphids. It does so through transcriptomic analyses and RNA interference (RNAi) technology. I examined the ways in which the transcriptome of aphid changes with host-plant, between tissues, within species and between species. The three-aphid species studied (the green peach aphid: Myzus persicae, the mustard aphid: Lipaphis erysimi, and the cabbage aphid: Brevicoryne brassicae) are all pests of economically important brassica crops (such as cabbage, cauliflower, mustard and canola). These data may provide insights into the way different aphid species deal with plant secondary compounds such as glucosinolates. These data also allowed me to examine the structure, function and evolution of myrosinase enzymes that have allowed some aphid species to develop an anti-predator ‘mustard bomb’. RNAi has been suggested as a way to specifically target pest that would be more ‘environmentally friendly’ than conventional insecticides. I experimentally assessed the feasibility of orally-delivered RNAi to control aphids and the potential of this technology to be developed as a functional genomic tool.

  • Death and Ethnicity: a Psychocultural Study – Twenty-Five Years Later. Doctor of Philosophy (Counseling Psychology), December 2001, 232 Pp
    DEATH AND ETHNICITY: A PSYCHOCULTURAL STUDY— TWENTY-FIVE YEARS LATER Cynthia A. Peveto, B.S., M.A. Dissertation Prepared for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF NORTH TEXAS December 2001 APPROVED: Bert Hayslip, Jr., Major Professor John Hipple, Committee Member Judith A. McConnell, Committee Member C. Edward Watkins, Committee Member C. Neal Tate, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Peveto, Cynthia A., Death and ethnicity: A psychocultural study – twenty-five years later. Doctor of Philosophy (Counseling Psychology), December 2001, 232 pp., 1 table, 3 appendices, references, 103 titles. This study compares ethnic, age, and gender differences concerning attitudes and behaviors toward death, dying, and bereavement among Caucasian, African, Hispanic, and Asian American adult participants in north Texas with the results of a 1976 study by Kalish and Reynolds on death attitudes and behaviors of Caucasian, African, Mexican, and Japanese American adult participants in Los Angeles, California. A modified version of Kalish and Reynolds’ study questionnaire was administered to 526 respondents (164 Caucasian, 100 African, 205 Hispanic, and 57 Asian Americans) recruited from community and church groups. Findings of this study were compared with those of Kalish and Reynolds in specific areas, including experience with death, attitudes toward one’s own death, dying, and afterlife, and attitudes toward the dying, death, or grief of someone else. Data was analyzed employing the same statistical tools as those used by Kalish and Reynolds, i.e., chi square calculations, frequencies, percentages, averages, and analyses of variance. As compared with the earlier study, results indicated that this study’s participants were less likely to have known as many persons who had died recently or to state they would try very hard to control grief emotions in public.
